Florida's Deputy Secretary for Health

It's not a stretch

New research conducted in part by College of Medicine professor Judy Muller-Delp and published in The Journal of Physiology has found that regular calf muscle stretching can preserve older adults' mobility and fight frailty. Regular stretching increases blood flow in the lower leg muscles without the injury risks of other workouts.

Among the most selective

According to U.S. News & World Report, the FSU College of Medicine is the third-most selective M.D. program in the country. The average acceptance rate for 2017-18 U.S. and Canadian M.D. programs was seven percent. The College of Medicine was at 2.6 percent, with acceptance offers to 151 of 5,866 applicants.
